Turbo change advice on xud

[ashdturb]

So after being let down buying a td04 turbo on manifold I'm wondering what other options there are
Was looking at either a t25 or gt2052 turbo but was wondering what's the better turbo and and how would I fit them to either pug manifold or a xantia one.

Many thanks

Anything you want to fit over standard turbo will require fabrication

Either welding on, or adaptor plates made up - easy enough if you have the tools. could prove expensive if you're paying someone else.

T25 is mega old hat these days, td04 is alright and at least dirt cheap and will see you around 175bhp no probs.

gt2052s is a good shout, but you may run into problems with headbolts stretching and killing hg, or clutch slipping as they can make a fairly decent amount of torque low down in the rpm.

There are plenty of threads on here with turbo chat in them, or go your own way and fit something you think will work.

What oil return pipes and breathers do people use the xud or what have they used ?
